Ultimately, there's nothing deceiving and everything to celebrate about Porter's All Rise!
May 2020
The textural palette is pleasingly varied throughout, with a horn section, 10-strong choir plus the London Symphony Orchestra strings all being judiciously brought into play. Whether in the slow burn of ‘You Can Join My Band’ or the soulful melodicism of ‘Real Truth’, Porter is in imperious form throughout.
28th August 2020
While All Rise is hardly a major change for the award-winning singer, there’s a marked increase in energy throughout with songs led by Porter’s more assertive performances, coupled with his brassy orchestration and the aforementioned gospel influences. Returning listeners will likely enjoy the balance between the moody crooning he’s known for, as well as the comparatively ‘modern’ sounds he entertains.
